Kidnapped 20 Medical Students Were Rescued Without Ransom – Police PRO, Adejobi

Release of 20 medical students and others. We confirm the release of our brothers and sisters and some other Nigerians who have been in captivity on Friday 23rd August 2024 in Ntunkon forest, Benue State. Without any ransom paid.

Contrary to some social media posts and unconfirmed stories that some money was paid, no kobo was paid to release them. They were actually rescued tactically and professionally. We commend the security agencies, locals, and ONSA for their commitment and resilience.

Thanks to you all

Muyiwa Adejobi (Police Spokesperson)
